Urban History Association Conference, October 2006

The Urban History Association invites submission of individual papers and panels
for the Third Biennial Urban History Conference at the Memorial Union of Arizona
State University on October 20-22, 2006. The central goal of the conference is
to explore urbanism and urban regions in all their complexity across time and
space.

Even though the conference deals with all urban topics, the committee is
especially seeking proposals for papers and panels that have a comparative
international framework or that place the study of urbanization in one country
or a specific period within an international context or that have transnational
implications.

The program committee welcomes proposals for either individual papers or entire
sessions of three papers with comment. Submissions must include the following
materials: a one-page abstract of each paper, clearly marked with title and
participant's name; a one-page curriculum vitae for each participant, including
address, telephone, and e-mail information. Submissions are due March 1, 2006
and should be sent with either an attached file (preferably Word) or with the
text in an email message to: Janet.Bednarek@notes.udayton.edu.

On Thursday, October 20, from 4:00-6:00 p.m., the committee will organize
workshops for graduate students writing dissertations in urban history. Each
workshop will be composed of approximately 3-4 students and 2 faculty members.
Participants will be expected to pre-circulate copies of their dissertation
prospectuses to each other. Students who wish to participate in a workshop
should apply by March 1, 2006 to: Janet.Bednarek@notes.udayton.edu.
